Phalaenopsis Redux

Canon PowerShot S90, 6-22.5mm lens @ 15mm, hand held
ISO equivalent 400; f/7.1, 1/250 sec.
Standard CS6 adjustments

Visits to Longwood Gardens are like drinking water from a fire hose. You see a Phalaenopsis plant, and you admire it. You walk a little further, and there is another, somewhat similar yet distinctive. This is a variant of my prior post. In PP, background hardware was removed.

All comments and suggestions are respectfully solicited.

Norm;

Remarkable DOF from the small sensor. I like the comp as well. Nice sense of depth from the multiple layers. Well exposed.

Cheers

Like the arching green spray above the flower. Frames it nicely. I reckon all cameras will get that size or even less one day!.
Florists were making a packet out of these for mothers day today. Some were upping the price by300%!

Lovely composition of the 3 orchids all facing the same way, & on a slight diagonal. Beautiful lighting really brings out the striking pinks and the orange of the centers. I like the good details also captured on the greenery and that you did not blur it into the bkgd. You used the greenery for a nice frame-like arrangement, especially that bit that comes in the right side to frame that one orchid and keeps it visually in the image. I also like that the concrete bkgd is more just pale color and without much detail.

Thanks everyone for your comments!

Another beauty with the little camera! Great colors and good exposure. The water drops are a plus as is the diagonal of the comp - I might wish that the flowers were at even more of a diagonal. This is very well done!
